Has anyone else become completely fed up with the Mainstream Media? When Bush was President, the left media would attack him so unrelenting that the right media had to defend him every second of everyday so you get one form never recognizing any good, and the other never recognizing any bad.

Since BHO's election, the same senario applies with a flip. I can't stand to watch MSNBC because they are campaigning for the guy for free these days. I can hardly watch FOX anymore, as it is one relentless attack after another and never giving any credit where it may be due.

If you watch MSNBC, CNN, FOX, etc, and believe they are unbiased I'm open for correction.

This is accurate. Remember they all have one goal- Ratings.

I still feel that the media is covering up a lot of what is going on with the current administration. At least the leftist media outlets...

Fox news, although more conservative I can't stand watching because of all the "mom killed kids, left husband for new boyfriend" stories they always air. Too trashy... if they just maintained a subtle conservative tone I'd love to watch it.

Until then, I get my news from google.

The whole media is controlled by a few corporations, what else would you expect? Other than the internet there is no other source for unbiased information. And on the net you get a lot of wacky biased information too!

What spurred me to write this is I was doing some light reading on Glenn Beck, and back during the Bush Admin. I used to enjoy reading his stuff. I dealt out blow after blow to the Republican party for their fiscal miscomings. Now though, it seems as if it is nothing but doom and gloom over-exaggerated paranoid senarios. It sounds just like MSNBC did during the Bush Admin. I still like some of the stuff Beck believes in (his fiscal ideals) but attacking too much makes you lose your credibility and people just ignore it. (Educated ones, others will continue to follow blinding and repeat what they hear in every arguement without knowing what they are talking about)

Fox News is all actually secret liberal sarcasm. They have a piercing wit and and a burning metal core of thickly veiled irony.
